                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialists: G.Saurage
AzVeloScale: 578.5, 577.5; 578.0 (no change)
Clear, if a bit hazy, skies. Moderate seeing.
Only real problem (after all the recovery work from yesterday) was that at switch
over TSpec was producing zero files again. At check out they were fine. Toggled the
arrayPower command and that fixed it. BTW: when "on" command is sent and it already
thinks that is the current state TUI spits out this error:
07:28:31 APO.gabrelle 748 tspec f errorMessage="null"
